AEM EMS Tuning

Can anyone point me in the right direction to tune my AEM. I know every car is different and to really do it right i need to get it on a dyno with a professional and my plan is to have George from Boost Solutions come and tune my car but at the same time i want to learn how to do it. I just installed the AEM and loaded the base map from the cd. Car starts up fine and idles great. Im currently running the MAF setup but will be converted to speed density this weekened. So any help you could give me for the speed denisty setup would be great.

Thanx
Chris

Did you get all your stuff already? That's great if you did!

I'm still saving stupid money!! grrr!!!

I've also been debating on wether or not to have a pro tune my car for me or just let a friend of mine and myself do it. He knows what he's doing, and he'll teach me it, so that's what I'm leaning towards. Tho, I suppose, if you pay enough to boost sol, they'll teach you anything you want.

I'll drop you a IM later, gotta ask yah somethin else.

If you have not downloaded the manual and FI theory PDF's, and read through them 20 times, you should do that first.
At that point I would see if you can find a shop willing to work with you to tune it. Honestly they don't have to be EMS, experts, just tuning experts. Having read the manual 20 times, you will be able to learn from this, allowing you to begin tweaking things from there on.
This is pretty much the same plan I have when I get the EMS later this year.

Ya i got the GM Boost Solenoid, AEM MAP Sensor, and GM IAT sensor. So that should all be good to go. Im going to have a AEM certified person make me 2 tunes one for 93 octane and one for C16. So then i will have 2 great maps and my car tuned to the best it could be for now. But i want to know how to use everything and tune it myself becouse as i add parts or the elevation changes or somthing weird like run more boost or whatever i would like to be able to do it myself. So i probably will have allot of maps in the end (2 maps from the tunners, and and probably another 2 from me to see what i can tweak to sqeeze and more power out of it). I cant wait! I pluged it in yesterday for the first time and the car fired right up with the base map. Mind you this is still running with the MAF. Im just going to install all the sensors and everything so i can drive my car to were i got to get it tuned and once it is there just unplug the stock ecu and plug in the AEM after taking off the MAF of course. Well like i said i cant wait there are so many features in here its just amazing. And yes i got the manuels and been reading them and trying to put things together but damn its like reading a bible. Pages just never end. By the time you get half way through it you forget what the beginning was. LOL. Well i guess everything will come together once you start doing it yourself.
